I got contacted about a position with "Unity Concepts" and went in for an interview yesterday just to check it out. There were a number of concerning factors, but I did a little further research after my "interview," which lasted about 10 minutes, and what I found is that it is just one of many similar marketing firms that promise essentially the same thing:

They apparently prey on recent grads, and ask them to enter "manager training," so that in 12-18 months they themselves will open their own marketing firm and make an arse load of money!

I'm not going to my second interview for a number of reasons, but I was curious if anyone else had experience with these guys. If you're interested in this place just beware. Something is definitely fishy, and it smells like over-saturated markets with false promises of wealth and financial independence.

these places want you to sell to your family and friends. then when that runs out after a couple of months you don't have any leads and you fizzle out, but the company has already made their money

Yea, don't waste your time with that nonsense. I did the same thing and didn't go back after that. I pretty much used it as interview experience.

I'm posting this sorta as a PSA. I have a job, but have been looking and was curious. This particularly company/series of companies is pretty sinister because they definitely hide details about what they do until you are already there and on board. I still don't know exactly they do, except that it's related to marketing At&T uverse,it's probably door to door, and probably on pure commission.

I can imagine for someone looking for a job it could be easy to fall into the trap. Hopefully people see it as one of those "too good to be true" cases.
